Stephen Elop is already a very rich man, and given that he has the inside track on being the next Microsoft CEO, he will undoubtedly continue to make gobs and gobs of money before his career is over. Even so, Elop is set to earn a hefty chunk just for being part of the acquisition of Nokia's devices unit by Microsoft. According to a new filing, Stephen Elop is owed €18.8 million (~$25.4 million) in order to return to Microsoft...

"There is little worry that the deal will not be approved" what does this mean??? So is there still hope ???
I read an article in gsmarena that nokia still continue working on an Android smartphone(prototype).

There is still hope because Nokia shareholders haven't approved the deal.....an extraordinary general meeting is to conducted by Nokia in the month of November for shareholder's approval.....I just hope that they don't agree for it.

indeed. I cant think of many men that has conned a group of intelligent investors and board members as well as Elop has done. Nokia could have possibly regained their #1 phone maker status if they didnt sell their soul to Microsoft and did a huge revamp of their software or went with Android instead.

"Elop to base , Elop to base , target is down and secure ...over !!!"
Steve Ballmer - "Good job Mr Elop , your $25 million will be sent to your account in Geneva and we will be sending a team to extract you to base in 0300hrs...over "
Elop -Roger That!!

Has someone gone mad? Paying this much to Elop for driving Nokia into failure?! I'm leaving this planet, and the Finns aren't the only ones that think Microsoft should pay more for Nokia, we think that in America as well

Obviously Microsoft thinks he did a good job. He delivered them a respected, popular, high-quality phone manufacturer just when MS needed one. He's the devil to Nokia fans, but inside MS, he must be a freakin' god.

For heavens sake... He had little to do with the whole transaction.. In fact it was Risto S. The chairman that did most of the talks. Also Elop can't and couldn't make any of the decisions without the board BUT I'm sure you all would rather cry that it was just Elop. This whole idea that he was the one that killed Nokia is complete nonsense and almost comical if you had any idea how a company is ran and the structures.

Elop was a trojan horse, i hope the shareolders dont agree with the takeover!
Nokia complained many times that MS was really slow updating WP and lacked of apps.
I think this was just a setup so that Nokia would go down and MS could buy it at a cheap price.
Nokia should dump MS and continue with their one path even if it means that for now they will have phones with Android. And Nokia should have kept Meego! Maybe they can use Sailfish OS, because Sailfish will be the next big thing!

Elop getting Financial compensation for his past duties as being a Companies CEO is nothing NEW it happens all the time when Companies change hands. There is too much BS about Mr
ELOP down weakening Nokia to make easy for Microsoft to buy it. People who know Elop know he wanted to be a CEO and by know means wanted to loose his position. Nokia was about to fold up before MR Elop Got there. Nokia and Blackberry although they were Powerhouse players did not have strong enough technology to keep up with the Apple iphone and Google Android smart phones. Mr Elop's and Nokia's Effort's did make nokia MS best OEM for selling Windows smart phones and new info points out that Nokia under his leadership was getting
Nokia smart phones capable of running the Android OS smart phones Nokia under Elop was getting ready to sell both Android and Windows smart phiones like Samsung and HTC and others do. Mr Elop was no Dummy under his leadership there would have been a few nokia Android smart phones. Elop is gone now and now there will be none so why don't you trolls shut up
